I understand how custom fields work on the front end for registration as I have them setup. Is there away to list on the back end for the actual event? For example my events all have sponsors. They have a main sponsor and could have several smaller sponsors. I would need to add 2 fields on the event creation section so I can add data there that can be exported into the csv file so I can do a mail merge.

EXAMPLE:
Main_Sponser: ABC COmpany
Sponsors: XYZ Catering, 123 Auto, Bob's Market, Chevy, Ford

In order to place them into an email I would need to use the [BRACKET] code. I would also need these fields to export out into CSV with the other fields.

Location- Does anyone know how to export the location address, city, etc.. using the CSV Export function?

I answered your ticket, but for details here also...

There are not custom fields for events, so there isn't a way to do what you are noting in that regard. For the location, the CSV export does not contain all of the details of the location. The export is intended for the admin's usage, who would already have the location information. :) I know what you are saying for your mail merge, but as you pull the export into your spreadsheet program, you can easily add new columns to paste in address details and such... especially since you can auto-fill most of it that has repeated data for each record.

The location details can be included in emails, but not the CSV export.
